Juvenile Fiction

FINDING THEIR MISSING GRANDMA WILL BE NO SMALL FEAT! 

Rubi and her much more daring—and skateboard-obsessed—brother, Quinn, are visiting their grandmother on beautiful Vashon Island for the weekend. It’s the first time they’ve taken the ferry from Seattle by themselves. But weirdly, when they arrive, Nana is nowhere to be found!

Then their Uncle James lets them in on a little secret: Bigfoot may have been spotted! And their Nana isn’t any old grandma—she’s the most famous Bigfoot hunter around! Trouble is, Nana should’ve returned by now. And nobody in all of Puget Sound has seen her! At least... nobody human.

Rubi and Quinn will have to follow the footprints (and scat!), crack the clues, and rely on each other to find their Nana and bring her home... that is, unless Bigfoot finds them first!

Watch out crows, this scarecrow won’t give up without a fight!

Every year, pesky crows throw a party in a scarecrow’s patch, gobbling up all the pumpkins in sight and leaving a horrid mess. Not this year! Jeb is determined to protect his pumpkins no matter the cost. Those crows are in for an unpleasant surprise!

Author and illustrator Jana Dillon conceived this as her first book. Originally published in 1992, the rollicking dialogue, glowing scenes of evening mischief, and a scarecrow family of unusual charm have all stood the test of time in this inventive tale full of the radiance and excitement of the Halloween season.

"...a fun and engaging read for football fans and realistic fiction fans alike." —Kirkus Reviews
